On the whole we aren't sure whether it was the prayer or the copious amounts of tape used that did the trick. So, we woke up early and headed into Minnesota, where we were greeted by an open armed Ronald McDonald. Delish, although by this point our bodies were p... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2722892&go=hkroadtrip Sun, 29 Jul 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2721476&go=hkroadtrip Day 20: We highly recommend the KOA campground at Hot Springs particularly as their all you can eat pancakes sustained us for much of our time in South Dakota (which isn't known for the freshest of food). This day we ventured to that iconic rock Mount Rushmore, and although impressive, we wished we could have got a bit closer to Roosevelt, Lincoln, Washington and Jefferson to fully appreciate thei... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2721476&go=hkroadtrip Thu, 26 Jul 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2720346&go=hkroadtrip Day 17: Following some friendly advice, we decided that taking in the second most beautiful drive in the USA was worth the risk of travel sickness and extra driving time. Thankfully there was none of the former ailment, and the latter was thoroughly justified by the views. However, it was all in all a very long drive to Denver, though singing (predominantly the tunes of the great John Denver) hel... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2720346&go=hkroadtrip Mon, 23 Jul 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2719279&go=hkroadtrip Day 12: Feeling a little worse for wear, and half a stale doughnut later, we checked out of South Point after a quick dip in the pool. We picked up a salad each (detox needed) and Han stuggled to find a coke in Wholefoods...apparently they're not healthy..who knew? In fairness she was looking for diet, which was a step up from the lime coke she opted for a few days later... Hoover Damn was hot as ... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2719279&go=hkroadtrip Wed, 18 Jul 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2719278&go=hkroadtrip ... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2719278&go=hkroadtrip Tue, 17 Jul 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2718862&go=hkroadtrip Klara's cousin Bee's apartment was to be our home base for the next three days, talk about luxury! Our gourmet Californian experience continued in LA where on our first night we were treated to a delicious dinner at Little Dom's. Despite being exhausted from travelling we were determined to "get current" on the TV show Newsroom, and stayed up far later than we should have. Our tiredness did not ho... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2718862&go=hkroadtrip Sat, 14 Jul 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2718859&go=hkroadtrip As we had been invited up North to Sonoma to visit Nancy and Mike, we hauled all of our belongings onto the F train. Han and I gently and gracefully lowered ourselves into our seats on the tram (2 seats each) and tried not to take out any innocent bystanders as we exited. A smiling Nancy met us off the ferry we took to Larkspur and having so much to chat about, we completely missed our exit on the... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2718859&go=hkroadtrip Tue, 10 Jul 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2717957&go=hkroadtrip DAY 3: After completing a morning of errands, we ventured out to see the monument to man's ingenuity that San Francisco is known for. On our friend Tash's suggestion we looked forward to an afternoon of cycling along the Golden Gate Bridge, but were sadly twarted in this endeavour by our own incompetence. Accordingly we settled on walking. It isn't an overstatement to say that the view was breat... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2717957&go=hkroadtrip Sun, 8 Jul 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2717828&go=hkroadtrip One thing I love about coming west is the power of what I call 'productive jet-lag', which translates as an irressistible urge to 'awake, arise and be forever risen' as soon as the cockerel crows. An urge which on most days is entirely foreign to me if not unhealthy for my constitution. But on Han and I's first morning of freedom, was I bright-eyed and bushy-tailed! Having grown up with Diego... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2717828&go=hkroadtrip Sat, 7 Jul 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2717818&go=hkroadtrip SAN FRANCISCO -- Our trip got off to a cracking start when Hannah received a complimentary bottle of champz and was spared the "pleasure" of Klara's company for the whole 10hrs of our flight to Frisco (yeh that's what the natives call it). Upon arrival we enjoyed a 3hr wait to get into this fine country, the whole while being exposed to the dulcet tones of a short promo film aired (on a loop) in t... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2717818&go=hkroadtrip Fri, 6 Jul 2012 12:00:00 GMT
